Hello friends and supporters of Interfaith Housing Initiative. 

We have a very exciting new announcement to make.  May we introduce you to a new program that we have been working on for some time.  Its called:


Helpisnextdoor.ca

This new website provides videos and resources in twelve languages to inspire us to safely connect with and care for each other as neighbours in our city.  It has been a labour of love, and we believe you will hear that love and care on display as you explore the videos and resources we have created.  
 
It includes the following resources so far, with more on the way. 
  1. Introduction and story videos in all twelve languages to remind us of how important love and care of neighbour is in each of our respective cultures.
  2. A Safe Food Sharing Guide!  The pizza guy can bring food to your neighbour's house.  If you use the same safety protocols, so can you!
  3.  A Safe Helping Guide - with ideas and instructions on how to safely care for each other as neighbours!
  4. Ideas for Safe Connection and Celebration.
  5. Coming soon: Neighbouring Cards and Ideas for Cohorts and Safety Circles!
Not all resources are available in every language, but we are working on that.  But for now, please enjoy the following video explaining the project!
Neighbours Helping Neighbours in Covid-19!

We need to be careful and we need to be safe, but we also need the courage to help each other!  Come join us as we learn how with Helpisnextdoor.ca!


 



Helpisnextdoor.ca is a program of Edmonton’s Interfaith Housing Initiative.

We are a gathering of diverse faith communities working together to address homelessness and housing challenges in Edmonton and Area.

“Our religious and spiritual communities share important values: respect for human dignity, solidarity with those who are poor and vulnerable, and an affirmation of the importance of inclusive and welcoming communities where individuals and families can thrive.”
